What must it be like
To not be under a microscope
All of the dang time?
I shouldn't ask cause you'd never know
To be under their watch (their watch)
Counting down the minutes
Staring at the clock
I wish you could admit it, just forget it
All their standards, and the pressure
It can get to even the most perfect
Of all persons, mental state worsens
You start to wonder if this happy act is worth it
They don't know about the darkest times
You've been through, all the lies, "just fine's"
When they asked "How are you?"
What must it be like?
"Good, and you too?"
What must it be like
To not feel micromanaged
All of the dang time?
Giving your opinions of my image
Going on long drives
Cause sometimes I need a mental break
Head in for the night
Exhausted and don't feel like being fake
All their standards, and the pressure
It can get to even the most perfect
Of all persons, mental state worsens
You start to wonder if this happy act is worth it
They don't know about the darkest times
You've been through, all the lies, "just fine's"
When they asked "How are you?"
What must it be like?
"Good, and you too?"
What must it be like (what must it be like)
To not have to lie
And apologize
When you didn't do the crime?
Didn't do the crime
All their standards, and the pressure
It can get to even the most perfect (you're so perfect)
Of all persons, mental state worsens
You start to wonder if this happy act is worth it (is it worth it?)
They don't know about the darkest times
You've been through, all the lies, "just fine's"
When they asked "How are you?"
What must it be like?
"Good, and you too?"
What must it be like
To not have to lie
And apologize
When you didn't do the crime?
What must it be like?
